Re: Nominations for the Elected University Committees and the University Senate -- Spring 2009

This memo follows earlier "card" and email solicitations from the chair of the Committee on Committees and me regarding faculty and staff interest and willingness to serve on university-level elected committees, councils, and the University Senate. Individuals indicating an interest in serving on the various elected committees, councils, and the University Senate have been added to the nominations list which is posted at: http://www.uoregon.edu/~uosenate/dirsen089/nominate089.html

Candidates are listed based on the positions available and eligibility for the positions. ( Links to information about eligibility to serve, term of service, as well as current and recent memberships are on the nominations webpage.)

Please note: There are a number of positions with insufficient candidates, especially for the University Senate, Graduate Council, and Faculty Personnel Committee (professional schools in particular). The deadline for nominations is Friday, April 17 th . Individual members of the voting faculty (tenure-related faculty, career NTTFs, and OAs) and classified staff may self-nominate, or nominate colleagues for the University Senate or for any of the seven university committees and councils for which you or your colleague is eligible. To nominate yourself or a colleague, please email the nomination(s) to Gwen Steigelman ( gwens@uoregon.edu ) and be sure to include the person's name, department, and the committee, council, or senate position for which nominated, as well as confirmation of the nominee's willingness to serve if elected, before 5:00 p.m. Friday, April 17, 2009. Additionally, the various Dean's Advisory Councils, or a similarly elected body in each of the respective schools and colleges, have been active in seeking nominations for these open positions to ensure a sufficient number of candidates -- please consider being a candidate if you have not already done so.

Voting will be conducted on-line using Duck Web beginning Friday April 24 th through May 4 th , with election results posted on the senate web page shortly thereafter.
